Top Tier Art Wright Memorial Tournament

Description

Welcome to the largest, most competitive event in the Pacific Northwest. With just over 400 teams in 2025 and all corners of the Pacific NW and Canada represented, there are new teams to play and we are able to split divisions into 2-3 groups to add to the overall competitiveness of this event. Based on field and umpire availability, we do cap every division to assure quality control. Sign up early and don't miss out! All Top Tier events focus on the overall experience with a heavy emphasis on competitive games. While registering, teams will self-recommend / evaluate a division to participate in and we will split each age group into what WE believe to be balance. The top division does not mean that you are a top team in the entire age group for all teams in the NW, it means that during this event, you are one of the top teams participating. If we do our job, everyone would go 2-2 with a 0 run differential. Competition is one of the biggest factors in growth and we will always do our best to make sure this is happening. To learn more about our ranking / evaluation systems, you can view or rankings page.
